In 1895, Edward Arthur FitzGerald, Matthias Zurbriggen and Jack Clark recorded the summit success of the southern tip.[3] The first ascent of the northern tip was accomplished in the same year by Tom Fyfe and Malcolm Ross.[4] Mount Haidinger is more suited for climbing in the Southern Hemisphere summer between September and March.[5]
Julius von Haast named the mountain after the Austrian geologist Wilhelm von Haidinger.[6]
